Chapter 108: Thank You, Lucas
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This tall, muscular man, Wade, was the very same boxing expert Gordon Douglas had hired to deal with Lucas.
Ever since Wade realized how terrifying Lucas was when they were in Heaven Media, he righteously defected to Lucas and took on the duty of protecting the people close to Lucas.
At the time, Lucas didn’t agree. After all, he hadn’t investigated Wade’s origin and motive clearly then and naturally wouldn’t send Wade to go close to the people dear to him.
After all the information he obtained and the observations he made during this period of time, Lucas confirmed that Wade was a reliable person he could hire. So when he saw Charlotte leaving the house alone in low spirits earlier, he texted Wade and asked him to go and protect Charlotte.
Charlotte was elated to hear that the burly man named Wade was here to protect her.
But she was now also extremely cautious and didn’t dare to trust any stranger easily. She asked apprehensively, “Who is this Mr. Gray you mentioned?”
Wade smiled. “Mr. Lucas Gray. Miss Carter, if you don’t trust me, you can call Mr. Gray and ask about it.”
After receiving Wade’s confirmation, Charlotte immediately felt relieved.
Charlotte had long confirmed that Lucas was not an ordinary person, and she knew that he was definitely capable of sending such a tall and burly bodyguard to protect her at last-minute notice.
Logan frowned after hearing their conversation.
He had finally taken a liking to a woman and specially concocted the drug, yet his plans were foiled just as he was about to get what he wanted. How could he be happy?
“Let’s leave,” Charlotte said as she shot Logan a look of disgust. Anyone who tries to drug people is a scumbag!

“Hah, you can’t leave so easily after ruining my mood.” Logan couldn’t be bothered pretending to be a refined gentleman anymore. He simply walked toward the couch and sat down suavely.
After he said this, over ten hostile-looking burly men clad in security officer uniforms suddenly surrounded them.
They were obviously not ordinary security officers but a group of well-trained fighters!
Charlotte became nervous. Although she knew that Wade was sent by Lucas to protect her and should also be an expert, he was alone and facing so many people, so Charlotte felt a little worried.
However, there was no fear on Wade’s face. He merely said to Charlotte calmly, “Miss Carter, just stand behind me, and don’t move.”
“Okay!” Charlotte nodded, feeling a little less nervous after seeing Wade’s calm expression.
Looking at Wade’s calm expression, Logan smirked and snapped his fingers.
Instantly, the burly men pounced at Wade.
“You’ve got a death wish!” Wade hollered while swinging his hard and massive fists at them!
“Ah!” The first burly man in front was sent flying and knocked over several tables and couches, making the patrons of the bar scream.
The first burly man laid in the middle of a pile of broken liquor bottles while covering his face and wailing incessantly. His cheekbones had probably already been shattered!
There was some horror on the faces of the remaining burly men. This tall and muscular man is really ruthless!
However, they were all hired fighters who had to take on the fight. They didn’t believe that they couldn’t defeat the outnumbered Wade!
The security officers swarmed up. Some of them held liquor bottles and smashed them at Wade.
Wade smiled contemptuously. I am a king of underground boxing. How could I be beaten up by some bar fighters?

Wade didn’t pull any fancy moves and merely waved his fists. The men started howling in terror. Soon, the ten-odd burly men were sent flying, creating a huge mess in the bar.
After all the fighters fell to the ground, there was no one left to stop Wade and Charlotte.
Seething at Logan, Wade left the bar with Charlotte.
Seeing the mess in his bar and the fighters rolling on the ground and shrieking in horror, Logan was overwhelmed with fury.
Someone had recklessly caused a huge mess on his turf. How could Logan take it lying down?!
Logan roared ruthlessly, “Go find out who that woman and Lucas Gray are! I want to hear about it within three hours!”
…
After finally escaping from the bar with Wade, Charlotte heaved a huge sigh of relief.
She didn’t expect to encounter such a thing when she went to the bar to take a breather while in low spirits.
Fortunately, the person Lucas sent had saved her. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
Charlotte was full of lingering fear. And there were also countless doubts within her.
For example, she wondered how Lucas found such a tall, brawny, and powerful person to protect her. And she was extremely curious about what other abilities Lucas was hiding too.
Unfortunately, the tall man in front of her didn’t seem like a talkative person. Moreover, he was more than two meters tall, extremely muscular, and had a menacing aura, so even Charlotte dared not ask him.
Soon, Wade escorted Charlotte back to her home.
When Charlotte went upstairs, she bumped into Cheyenne, who wanted to speak to her.
“Did you just go out to drink?” Cheyenne couldn’t help but frown when she smelled the alcohol reeking from Charlotte.
“Yes.” Charlotte nodded honestly. Just as Cheyenne was frowning and about to say something, Charlotte quickly interrupted her and assured her with a serious expression. “Cheyenne, I know I shouldn’t have done that! I will never go to a bar on my own again in the future!”
“…” Cheyenne looked at her sister promising seriously and could only shake her head and sigh. “I’ll hold you to your word. Don’t go to such places again in the future. You’re a girl. It’s dangerous out there!”
“Yes!” Charlotte nodded profusely like a chick.
In the past, she would be unconcerned when Cheyenne persuaded her not to go to bars because the world was full of thugs. But after the incident today, she decided to behave herself and take Cheyenne’s advice.
After Charlotte went into her room, she hesitated for a moment before sending Lucas a text. “Thank you, Lucas!”
When Lucas opened this text, Cheyenne happened to be next to him and coincidentally saw the sender. “Did Charlotte text you?”
Lucas nodded. But for some reason, Cheyenne suddenly felt uncomfortable.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
